Seit heute Nachmittag um 5 Uhr wird Google von der chinesischen Firewall blockiert. Offensichtlich reagiert China damit auf den Zensur-Ausstieg von Google.
Across China, all searches on Google’s main search engine appeared to have been blocked starting Tuesday afternoon.
Searches for seemingly innocuous terms such as “Beijing” and “China” returned error messages. Twitter users across the country reported outages of the search engine starting at around 5 p.m.
It’s unclear whether the blockage was ordered by the Chinese government, which has been angered by Google’s decision to shutter its China-based site March 22 and reroute users to its uncensored site in Hong Kong.
Die Regierung in Peking hatte unmissverständlich Konsequenzen angedroht, falls Google die vertraglich vereinbarten Zensurregelungen nicht mehr befolge.
